Question 2 of 12
Air conditioning — requirement or nice-to-have?
Puerto Viejo is warm and humid year-round. Be honest!
Non-negotiable — I cannot sleep without A/C
Nice to have but I can manage with good fans
Don't need it — I prefer natural ventilation
Question 3 of 12
Would you want an outdoor kitchen / dining area — Bali style?
An open-air covered space with cooking and dining, integrated with nature.
Yes — that sounds amazing, I'd use it daily
Nice bonus but not a deal-breaker
No — I prefer a regular indoor kitchen
Question 4 of 12
How much cooking do you plan to do vs. eating out?
This helps us know how important a full kitchen is for you.
I cook most meals — full kitchen essential
Half and half — basic kitchen is fine
Mostly eat out — just need coffee & breakfast setup
Just coffee and a few basics — kitchenette is enough
Question 5 of 12
Would you be open to sharing a house with roommates?
Think co-living style — shared common areas, private bedrooms.
Yes — I love the social aspect of co-living
Maybe if it significantly lowers the cost
No — I need my own private space
Not relevant — I'm coming with a partner / friend
Question 6 of 12
What kind of view or outdoor environment matters most to you?
What do you want to see when you open your door or look out the window?
🏘️ Walkable to town / amenities
Question 7 of 12
What is your single non-negotiable must-have feature?
In your own words — if a rental doesn't have this, you wouldn't take it regardless of anything else. (e.g. fast WiFi, A/C, ocean view, private workspace, fenced garden, outdoor shower...)
0 / 200
Question 9 of 12
How much does personal safety factor into your rental decision?
Be honest — it helps us understand what reassurance matters.
Very important — it's a top priority for me
Important, but I know PV is generally safe
Not a main concern — I've lived abroad before
I'd want more information before deciding
Question 10 of 12
What is your monthly rental budget in Puerto Viejo?
All-in for the rental itself (not including food, activities, etc.)
$1,800+ / month — quality is priority
Question 11 of 12
Would a pool be important to you in a long-term rental?
In Puerto Viejo the Caribbean is minutes away — but a home pool is a different experience.
Yes — a pool is a must-have for me
Nice to have, but I'd take a great home without one
A shared pool with other tenants is fine
Don't need it — I'll use the beach
Question 12 of 12
If you'd share a house with roommates, how many would you prefer?
Think co-living style — private bedroom, shared common areas. Skip if you answered "no roommates" in Q5.
1 roommate only — keep it small and manageable
3 or more is fine — I love a buzzing house
Not applicable — I prefer living alone
